Story

As you may be aware, in 2014 I will be running the Virgin London Marathon with 11 others representing team F&F!

I have always wanted to run a Marathon but I was definitely not a born runner! After every 3 miles I realise how hard it really is going to be, physcially on my body, and mentally trying to keep motivated.

I am raising money for Save the Children, they are an internationally active, non governmental organisation that promotes childrens rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countires.

Please help me raise money for Save the Children because no child is born to die!

·         £3 could pay for life-saving treatment for eight children with diarrhoea

·         £25 could provide ‘safe birth kits’ for three women giving birth at home

·         £50 could buy two hygiene kits with soap, towels and toothbrushes

It only takes a few hours spent in a third world country to realise how truly blessed we really are with beds to sleep in a fresh water to drink, Save the Children works in 120 countries. They save children’s lives, fight for their rights and help them fulfil their potential.

Please help me to raise money for 'Save the Children' knowing that the money we raise together will save a child’s life will keep me going for those 26.2 miles, because no child was born to die.
